Did you read the linked pdf?

This is the opinion of on person who attempted to review the product which everyone is is entitled to do, review and have an opinion. But to call it a white paper is going a little to far, if you read to the conclusions you will see that there is speculation in to how it is constructed and operates but never investigated beyond that.

Sprintbooster has been reviewed and studied by Journalists and professional drivers. And winning a Best New Product award from SEMA is not an easy task.

Every vehicle is different, and every Sprint Booster is calibrated to eliminate the lag from that vehicles throttle control system. Every Vehicle has some degree of lag, including Audi platforms.

You can read as much as you from both sides, people who love SprintBooster and those who are speculative. But those who try it have a much better informed experience of what it can do.

Try it, You will be impressed.

It's just a bunch of hand-waving.

The conclusions in the pdf are correct. Here is your own sales page.

sprintboostersales is not www.sprintboosterusa.com Sprintboostersales is a division of Mini Mania as stated at the bottom of their page.

If you read the previous posts on how the Sprint Booster product works, you will have a firm understanding of why it works so well.

Capturing the essence of the product and putting it into words or a fancy chart will never equal the feeling/feedback you get when driving with this product is engaged. Its not simply just making it sensitive. Sprint Booster actively measures your throttle inputs and does all the work for you when it comes to interacting with your throttle controller. The updated signal that gets to your ECU is more inline with what the driver wants (driver input).

Try it. If it doesnt make you say WoW send it back. We dont just extend this offer to you. But to everyone.

If you search for yourself, everyday there are people who are dead set against our product for what ever reason, but those who try it have a new found respect for what it does and how well it does it.

Try it and prove us wrong!

By which you mean it pushes the pedal down farther for you. If you want to call this response, or lag, go for it. Lag is delay, and there is not way to speed up the response of something by introducing another component between the original two electrical devices - that will only inherently add more delay.

Does this product do anything over and above what you can do by putting your foot down farther and/or faster than you are currently doing it? No.

Again, Sprintbooster is more advanced than what you are implying with your comments.

Sprint Booster monitors driver pedal input and dynamically adjusts the signal based on that user input. Comparing this to slamming your foot down harder on the pedal just doesnt equate to the same thing. Remember there is more to throttle control than WOT.

LOL For guys too lazy to downshift, it briefly gives the *illusion* that the car is more responsive. Unfortunately, there's no corresponding increase in torque and the car will feel *sluggish* a few seconds later.

It's sorta like going to a strip joint. When you put your money down, you get a little boost, but it doesn't lead anywhere!

It also compresses the control range you have. Losing that top 25% for feathering would bother me. You'd have to put in a physical stop to not 'over throttle', otherwise you might want to back off due to upcoming corner or something and have the system stay on full until your foot backs off below the 75% mark.

Again, do a google search, of all the people who drive with sprintbooster get their reaction. The people who try it, love it.

There are no illusions or smoke and mirrors. There is a considerable impact on throttle lag. No doubt about it. Our product is engineered to combat this lag.
